Book Description
Excerpt from Terms of Industrial Peace The labour question is one of those which in some form or other is constantly, and not always pleasantly, being brought to our notice. The relations between Capital and Labour, and the effect which they will presently have upon our productive power as an industrial people, have recently been considerably discussed. In the following pages I have attempted to state the case fairly, as one who has seen both sides of the problem, and to outline a scheme whereby the two contending elements may be brought together. The discussion is brief, and much more could be said, but an engineer who controls labour employed upon munitions is much too busy at the moment to do more than sketch his ideas, even though the subject be of such supreme importance and the problems involved those with which he is daily coming into contact. In writing this book I have made a very sincere attempt to approach the subject from a strictly neutral standpoint; with the result, doubtless, that I shall be told by some of my labour friends that the proposals do not go far enough, and by some employers that they go much further than is desirable.

Book Description
Excerpt from Methods of Industrial Peace There is a surprising lack of books in the English language on the vital matter Of industrial peace. Four or five small volumes, the latest now ten years old, exhaust the list. I have embraced the opportunity thus Offered to treat the subject more comprehensively than has yet been done, and to bring the treatment down to the present year. Discussions of such matters have been rendered more profitable by the recent introduction of the term collective bargaining and by the discrimination of mediation, conciliation.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Quest of Industrial Peace The chapters of this book are the record of an inquiry into the elements of the ever-recurrent industrial strife, and of their action and re action on each other. An analysis of the contentions so decisively in conflict is followed by a brief exposition of the chief social and industrial adventures of the past. Then there is a statement and a criticism of the theories and proposals so eagerly advocated to-day. An endeavour has been made to exhibit the complex problems and the involved issues, moral and psychological, economic and political, which have foiled the enthusiastic idealists of the past, and are preventing the assent of the more thoughtful minds of the present day. The two closing chapters engross a message and a method, stated in the briefest possible way, which seem to the writer to point out the only path of industrial peace for those who are sincerely willing to seek it.

Book Description
Excerpt from Industrial Peace, Vol. 3 That it provides an incentive is clearly seen by reference to a case which is similar in its essentials. We owe America a large sum of money in dollars. When repaying the loan we shall need to borrow in sovereigns from our own people and convert the sovereigns into dollars. The greater the number of dollars to the sovereign the higher the value of the sovereign) the smaller will be the internal loan required to repay the American loan in dollars. But the value of the sovereign in terms of dollars will fall if the currency is inflated, and rise if it is deflated. Consequently, the existence of the dollar loan provides a strong incentive against inflating our currency. Similarly the granting of a sterling loan to a European State would provide that State with a strong incentive to maintain the value of its currency in terms of sovereigns. The problem, from our point of view, is to release stocks, enable manufacturers to repay the banks, and the latter, in turn to finance new production. The frozen credit must be thawed. The present abnormal stocks must be regarded, for the time being, as equivalent to the factory itself, i.e., as 'fixed' rather than commercial or circulating capital. They must represent an investment of capital. And such capital must be drawn from as wide a source as possible. A semi public merchant trust should be formed for each appropriate exporting industry, and bonds issued to the public. With the capital obtained by the issue of bonds the Trust should purchase part of the existing surplus stocks of standardised expoirtable goods needed by Europe, and give orders for further supplies to the manufacturers. The latter would then be able to repay the banks, and re-borrow sufficient to meet the needs of current production, part of which would be guaranteed a sale on the usual terms of credit. The Government would then approach the necessitous States of Eu'rope and arrange to grant loans desired to enable the latter to purchase, as required, the stocks of the Trust.

Book Description
Excerpt from Industrial Peace, Vol. 1 The object of these pages is to contribute towards the maintenance of Industrial Peace. We believe that the spread of Syndicalism and the fomenting of class-antagonism is harmful to Labour as well as to Capital. We are convinced that the common national interest can best be served by the establishment of some form of cc-operation between Labour, Management and Finance, which will enable this country to maintain her position as a Great Power, whilst securing a decent and prosperous standard of living to the workers, who, we strongly hold, have an inherent right to be safeguarded against all preventable poverty, unemploy ment and exploitation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Industrial Peace, 1921, Vol. 9 Tits reluctance of private employers and the employing departments of municipalities to submit their demands for wages reductions to arbitration has excited considerable comment. And not a little adverse criticism. It is held that during the war and the transitional period which followed the armistice. Organised labour, at that time strong and aware of its strength. Consented to the settlement of its claims by the Committee on Production and the Industrial Court of Arbitration which followed it. It is therefore but right (we are told) that now, when the tide has turned and the economic power of labour has been enormously reduced, the employers should agree to the determination of wage changes by a similar impartial tribunal. But an examination of the facts of the case will show that the analogy is false. And that in refusing to employ the method of arbitration employers are by no means inconsistent. It is not, indeed. Too much to say that they are but pursuing the policy which organised labour itself approves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
